Covington goes off
“It’s nothing more than a participation fight to cater to the guys that can never win an undisputed strap,” Covington said. “Good for them. Their little side circus show, participation trophy, good for you, man, but you’re not the best, you’re not the undisputed champion. You’re just nothing more than a promotional tool. They were used to promote that fight because they needed a title fight to sell the pay-per-view, so good for them.”
